Wikileaks vs. Vogelgezwitscher vs. Coden, yes! “ArtScience student Matthijs Munnik produced a soundscape that consists of synthetic bird sounds as a way to encode text. His system proposes a new way to share information outside of the internet, in real acoustic space, by creating hidden listening-posts. It refers to code systems used by secret services and to the publication of secret data by Wikileaks.” Via
QR-Codes für digitale Nomaden: “The Free Art and Technology Lab has created a series of 100 QR stencil designs that can be used to provide directions, information, and warnings to digital nomads in urban space. The project – called “Hobo Codes” – is inspired by the Hobo signs developed by 19th century vagabonds and migratory workers to cope with the difficulty of nomadic life. QR codes usually directs users to a URL, but the digital Hobo Codes contains simple information, such as an advice or warning. Scanning the codes reveal messages like “vegans beware”, “those aren’t women” and “it’s fake”.” Via
